ask Tom Waits . . . .

using someone's photo to make your own art is also an infringement, I don't know what the case is here, but it doesn't matter, both photo and illustration (and that's all it is, an illustration) are unexceptional.

He used a screencap someone took of the Leno performance if he used anything. He could have paused the Leno performance and worked with that.



It is still infringement, but really only prosecutable if you are making money off of it.

I think the screen cap is fair use. But if it was a violation then making money or not has little baring on the legal issue.

I did the screen cap from the leno SHOE performance. The use of "plagarize" was meant as a little tongue and cheek. Insert preferred emoticon here.

Don't know if the artist is claiming his image is original or not. His treatment surely is original. I like it. Besides, the picture is just an angle I liked. So I "Plagarized" it and put it on here. At least we know the artist likes prince.org.

Just when I saw the email, I was suprised that it was used. If P liked it, then great. Flattered.

I have liked a few of his ideas (insert tongue in cheek, now) over the years.


I get your point know that you have clarified things... Sorry I got on my high horses earlier. Taking your very first statement at face value, I thought it was quite stupid! err
